Description

Welcome, Adventurers! We’re recruiting players for an online Shadowdark open table exploring The Caverns of Thracia, one of the hobby’s most celebrated megadungeons. Our group includes longtime players and complete newcomers, and we’d love to welcome a few more of both. Why an open table? Our original five-player campaign ran into the BBEG of modern tabletop: scheduling. Between jobs, partners, and families, getting everyone together became its own epic quest. An open table means you sign up for the sessions that work for you, with no expectation of attending every game. The party may change, but everyone contributes to the same ongoing campaign. The adventure Our version of Thracia lies beneath an abandoned structure in the Drake Peaks, in the Northerlands of Shadowdark’s Western Reaches. Something within these vast caverns has been raiding villages throughout the Isles of Andrik. You’ve answered the call to discover what’s behind the attacks and will venture into the depths to stop them. Each session is a single expedition, beginning and ending in town. Between delves, players share discoveries through a communal map and tavern board. A warning left by one party might save the next; an unexplored passage might become another group’s destination. Together, we’ll uncover the dungeon’s secrets. When we play I run two sessions a month: one weekday evening and one weekend daytime session. Times vary to accommodate players across US time zones, from Eastern to Pacific. Who we’re looking for We’re an adult group balancing gaming with jobs, relationships, families, and everything else life throws at us. We’re looking for fellow adults who appreciate that balance and want to make room for a good adventure when schedules allow. Some of us have played D&D in one form or another for decades; others are getting their feet wet. No Shadowdark experience is necessary. Questions are welcome, and patience and respect are expected. We have a simple no-jerks policy. Interested? Message me here! I have two short YouTube videos. One is an overview of the campaign, and the other introduces the adventure hook. I'm happy to share both if you're interested.

Well hello there. I am looking for another player to join my upcoming Shadowdark campaign. Game is welcoming for LGBTQ+ gaymers (straights are allowed too ig lol). We have a very mature (immature) sense of humor at this table so only apply to join if your okay with adult jokes. We will start with session 0 on the 26th. All TTRPG experience levels are welcome. This campaign will be heavily focused on obtaining money to invest in your domain, to unlock more NPC's and stores that sell useful items. As the game goes on, you can grow in wealth and influence to spread your ambitions. The Hook: "Castle Fairfax, a newly renovated historic home in the countryside. Enjoy the provincial life and live like a lord. Start your own domain, and escape your station! Buy your way into the upper class for the low low price of 250 GP!" At least, that's what that petulant snake-oil salesman said. A newly renovated castle? Between the singular standing tower and holes in the walls, the word "historic" is probably the only true thing of this places marketing. To make matters worse, several other adventurers were all sold the same moldy tower, and it seems that some highwaymen are squatting in our tower. Whatever the status of my property dispute with these other adventurers, it seems we may have bigger problems. Lore Document: This is the Lore document for my homebrew setting that I use for my homebrew games. You do not need to read all of this. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wmzaPQ6oKwFftdPm7QrIVJSGS0zs6ZSrOl5lglhGE58/edit?usp=drivesdk Information: Time: Saturday 9am PST/PDT Session 0: September 26th, 2026; 9am PST/PDT Saturday Requirements: Discord, Microphone, Realm VTT (Free Account) Minimum Age: 18 How to join: Add me on discord at "@sharpiewater" and let me know you are interested. Make sure to let me know when would be a good time for you to have a voice call with me, as I like to talk over Voice Chat with new players to make sure they are a culture fit (that I like you lol).

Across the Western Reaches

West Marches / Living World
One world and a big pool of players, but no fixed party - whoever signs up that week is who plays.
Scheduling will be determined on a session-per-session basis as per West Marches style. In an ideal world sessions will be on a weekly or biweekly basis. Games will be scheduled for the month of November in UTC-5 time zone with much availability on my (GM) end, and from December onwards my schedule will be in UTC +3 with games in the evenings monday to saturday or potentially during the day on sunday.  - Game session duration: 3hrs - Sessions will use roll20 and a dedicated discord server. The game will be a West Marches game set in the Western Reaches campaign setting. This means open-table, players using a roster of multiple characters, semi-regular scheduling based on highest availabilities, and an emphasis on exploration through Hex Crawling and individual point of interest crawling. PCs will have to return to safety at the end of each session or risk rolling on the caught in danger table (very bad things could happen ). The use of the Fast Travel rules will make this relatively easy, so don't let this dissuade you! Players will directly forge the narrative and expand the world by exploring and discovering new information throughout the Reaches. The West Marches nature of this campaign means that it does not require high commitment and regular attendance. Whether you want to try out Shadowdark for the first time, only hop in an adventure once in a while or plan on attending every session, there is a place for you on in this campaign.  PC options: - All Core and Player's Guide to the Western Reaches options. - New Characters start at Lv1, designed or random. - House Rules: Max hit die HP at creation, Luck can turn crit rolls to normal roles and vice versa, PCs not sleeping intentionally take stat dmg to represent exhaustion. More details on the discord server.  If you want to heed the call for adventure and forge an emergent narrative across the amazing Western Reaches world, send me a Discord DM to venture out into the Wilds... and pray you come back alive!
